What happened?

I am using Barrier to share my mouse between my private laptop (server) and my work laptop (client), both Windows 10.

Whenever the work laptop e.g. runs updates and thus open a window, which runs with admin rights, Barrier doesn't work on that laptop any more. This makes sense, since Barrier doesn't have admin rights on my work laptop.

The problem is, that there is no indication on that. It did take me a few minutes to figure out what happened. It would be really useful if the server-side program would show some kind of error pop up.

Version

v2.3.3

Git commit hash (if applicable)

3395cca

If applicable, where did you install Barrier from?

Pre-built binaries from Github

What OSes are you seeing the problem on? (Check all that apply)

Windows

What OS versions are you using?

Windows 10 on both devices.

Relevant log output

Each time windows asked permission my connection lost about 3s. Isn't there any way really?
